    We are always facing huge noise pollution in and around Bolar mulihithlu. It is 12.30 midnight 1st May 2024 loud speaker and music is going on. It is so annoying children cannot focus on studies during night time and working people cannot sleep. Why there is no law for organisers organising late night events in open spaces or private spaces. Please some one stop this nonsense.

    Please enforce this strictly at urwa market cricket ground. Even after multiple complaints to barke police station and multiple public nuisance reports on the KSP app no action has been taken. The residents are absolutely frustrated! Besides noise, there are instances of playing on the roads and blocking the roads, Eve teasing, public consumption of alcohol. It has become a total hooligan street! Being close to barke police station it is even more ridiculous given the lack of power the police seem to demonstrate

    We hope this will be strictly followed - we are Senior Citizens and the Noise Pollution is taking a toll on our health. Time and again the menace of Shrill horns used by our City busses from early morning till late at night - all over the City ; has resulted in Students and other professionals Suffering, I fail to understand why the Traffic cops are not dismantling these devices and booking the bus Crew, Owners as well as the Garage ‘s that fit these illegal contraptions. Most of these horns are so shrill that it’s like the Ships distress sirens 🚨

    Just use common sense. Why would the entire neighborhood want to listen to your Mehendi and Roce celebration ? Why would people going for duty, students studying for exams and children put to sleep would want to listen to your DJ's building shaking music, or the housie housie announcements ? Government is making rules for those who dont have common sense. Tell your DJ to turn down the volume.

    Please notify the dB levels so that we can keep a watch. There are a lot of apps to measure the dB level and complain every time it is above the limit. More work for the police department and I hope they are not biased as per religion.

    OK. First offense fine is Rs. 50/= only Second offence Rs. 100/= Repeated offenses would be charged Rs 50/=. Or option is available one time fine Rs. 1,000/= the continue life as before.
